Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blusher in 'Pinched'

Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blusher
'Pinched'
£7.99

I'm a sucker for blushers...
Alongside eyeshadows they make up the majority of my collection
I feel so much more put together with a flush of colour on my cheeks
It has taken me a while o figure out when too much is just that, too much, and that a little can go a long way when it comes to your cheeks
The clown look is really not something I thrive for!
That's why I like how sheer cream blushers are and how easily and seamlessly they blend into the skin
Also really good when your doing your makeup on the go as you can just pop it on with your fingers, simples

Revlon are one of my favourite high street makeup brands, runner up is Maxfactor.
I love everything I try from them and always head to their stand first when I visit my local Boots, especially good when there's some kind of offer on 
As you can see from the second picture I've been using this for a while and am really enjoying it
I use my Real Techniques Stippling brush to apply and find it works best for cream blushers
It's very hard to apply too much of this as it's just so easy to blend whilst still workable on the skin 
Once it settles into the skin it dries to a silky powder finish which is really flattering on the skin as is the colour a gorgeous, subtle coral
Not as in your face as some other coral in my collection but perfect for an everyday makeup look where you don't want to look too overdone
This has been perfect from work worn with a simple eye look and a light foundation
Seeing as I like the formulation of Revlon's cream blushers so much I'm contemplating trying a few more, or trying a few other brands out.
Apparently MUA have a really good cream blusher for a bargain which may have to be purchased!

Sleek Blush by 3 'Sweet Cheeks'

Sleek Blush by 3

Blusher Palette

Sweet Cheeks

£10.00

I'm not 100% sure if this is limited edition or now a permanent fixture to the Sleek line up but I do know I like it...

The Sleek blusher palettes are perfect if you're looking to add some new blusher shades to your collection but don't want to shell out too much hard earned cash

£10 for three full sized blusher pans is bloody good value, coming in it at £3.33 a blusher

They are extremely good quality for the price point and I highly recommend giving them a go 

In this palette you get a cream blusher in Cupcake, a matte blush in Dollymix and a shimmer finish blusher in Candyfloss

This is the first time I've ever tried a Sleek cream blusher and have to say I'm very much impressed, extremely pigmented, easy to blend, lasts well on the skin

everything you would want from a cream blusher in my eyes

The other two blushers are both powder, one a matte finish and one a shimmer

The shimmer shade, Candyfloss, is a bright pink leaning to more coral tones

As these are so pigmented a light hand is definitely needed when applying these blushers so as not to look like a clown! But that does also mean the product will last forever

The matte shade, Dollymix, is much more lilac and something I've never tried

This translates quite subtley to the skin, being matte it doesn't highlight any large pores unlike shimmer shades and is therefore very flattering on

I would imagine this palette would be good for all skin tones as the colours would look amazing on both fair and dark colourings

Have you tried any of the Sleek blusher offerings before?

Dainty Doll Fragrance Direct Haul

I'm guessing that Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts make up brand has gone into liquidation (or whatever the term is..) as the whole range has been popping up on various discount sites and in the clearance section on ASOS.

The range was created with those of fair skin in mind, so perfect for me and my ghostliness.

As you've probably guessed from my previous posts I am a sucker for cheek products, in specific blushers.

Both the cream blushers and powder blushers were reduced to £1.99 from £13.50 so it would have been rude not to purchase at such a bargain! 

Just checking Fragrance Direct and the majority of the products are still in stock.

I think working it out I spent just £20 (inc. P&P) on over £100 worth of make up!

Being the packaging fiend that I am I really like the sleekness of the Dainty Doll products

The simple black and gold compacts appeal to my needs

They are also really sturdy and fasten securely so would be no problem chucked into a make up bag on the go 

Top row are the cream blushers and the bottom row are powder

One thing I will say is that the swatches on the website are shocking as always with Fragrance Direct

I never go by what the colours show they are in the majority completely wrong

When I received my parcel I don't think there were any colours I was disappointed with

The cream blushers are a gorgeous consistency and blend into the skin effortlessly

Million  Dollar Babes looks to be the perfect pale girls contouring shade, but I haven't mastered contouring yet this could be the product that helps me.

All the blushers are really well pigmented, even the palest Hippy Shake which would probably be more of a matte highlight shade as it is so pale

You are my Sunshine is a gorgeous coral colour, a dupe for Sleek's Rose Gold and Nars Orgasm blushers

The name and colour of this blusher are most definitely my favourites out of the bunch

My Nanny used to sing 'You are my Sunshin' to me every night when I was with her so naturally I'm drawn to it..

I also picked up two of the concealer pens again reduced down to £1.99

The green coloured is meant to counteract redness and as I have very blotchy and red skin I thought this could work and so far I've seen quite a difference in the tone of my skin when used under foundation

The formulation is very creamy and blendable, it sinks into the skin well and brightens the skin

I would definitely recommend picking up some Dainty Doll products whilst they are still around, especially at the reduced prices
